Meet Calder Holloway, the hero of my upcoming paranormal romance duet Dark Days! Calder is a two-hundred year old vampire history teacher with a preference for teaching the upper secondary years. He is the newest faculty member at Solskinn International Academy, a human boarding school above the Arctic Circle in Norway. He is very excited about the lack of sunlight for half the year.

While Calder’s past is dark and mysterious, he has high expectations for the future. Perpetually early, a planner down to his marrow, the vampire is all about organization, precision, and execution. He holds those around him to a very high standard, but given the supernatural community is still relatively hidden to humans, he must swallow whatever annoyances tickle his fangs and play nice instead. For him, pretending to be a sweet, somewhat bumbling fellow who the humans in his life adore is a defensive strategy, a protective measure, and has served him well over the last decade.
